"No one's allowed to drive across the bridge while the show is going on. The six-lane bridge shuts down every weekend just before the 9:00 pm show on Saturday and Sunday. The bridge is also illuminated by LED lights, which provide a pretty spectacle even when the dragon isn’t breathing fire." [SmithsonianMag]

Before it squirts water three times, it squirts fire nine times. The light show is synchronized with the dragon's "breathing." [vinpearl]
